Analysis of Business Characteristics and Motivation of Beef Cattle Farmers through an Ethnic Approach in Central Bangka Regency
No full textThis study aims to examine the characteristics of beef cattle farming, the motivation of Malay and Chinese ethnic farmers, and to identify the factors influencing their motivation. The research was conducted from March to December 2024 in Central Bangka Regency, Bangka Belitung Islands Province, where livestock farming has become an increasingly important livelihood. A total of 100 respondents were involved, consisting of 50 Malay and 50 Chinese beef cattle farmers. Respondents were selected using purposive sampling, with the inclusion criteria being beef cattle farmers of Malay and Chinese ethnicity who resided in Pangkalan Baru District and were actively engaged in beef cattle production. Data were collected using structured questionnaires and analysed using descriptive statistics and multiple linear regression. The results show significant differences in business characteristics between the two ethnic groups, particularly in sources of finance, market access, and business orientation. Both Malay and Chinese farmers demonstrated high levels of motivation, driven by both economic and socio-cultural factors. The analysis revealed that cattle farming experience (p<0.05), cattle herd size (p<0.05), and ethnicity (p<0.01) significantly influenced farmer motivation. These findings highlight the role of ethnic background and farming experience in shaping farmers' motivation, which is essential for designing culturally sensitive livestock development strategies in the region
Willingness To Pay For Sustainably Produced Beef: A Study on Urban Consumer Preferences
No full textThe increasing environmental and ethical challenges associated with conventional beef production have intensified consumer awareness of sustainable food systems, particularly in urban areas of Indonesia. This study examines urban consumers’ willingness to pay (WTP) for sustainably produced beef, focusing on how sustainability attributes, including eco-certification, animal welfare, and environmental sustainability, affect purchasing decisions. Data were collected through a mixed-methods approach, integrating online surveys and Discrete Choice Experiments (DCE), involving a representative sample from five major urban centers: Jakarta, Surabaya, Padang, Balikpapan, and Denpasar. The findings indicate that eco-certification is the most valued attribute, with a marginal willingness to pay (MWTP) of IDR 25,000 per kilogram, followed by animal welfare (IDR 18,500) and environmental sustainability (IDR 15,000). Consumers also demonstrated a general willingness to pay a 20% premium for sustainably produced beef, although regional disparities were observed. Jakarta and Surabaya exhibited the highest WTP premiums, at 23% and 22%, respectively, reflecting the influence of socioeconomic variables, including income, educational attainment, and environmental awareness. These results underscore the growing importance of environmental concerns and ethical considerations in shaping urban consumers’ preferences for beef products. The study contributes to the limited body of literature on sustainable meat consumption behavior in emerging markets, offering practical insights for policymakers, producers, and marketers in designing targeted strategies to promote sustainable beef consumption and support the development of environmentally responsible livestock industries in Indonesia
Identification of AHSG gene polymorphism and association with flavor and odor compounds of Indonesian lamb meat
Full text linkFlavor and odor are important factors for consumers to consider the quality of lamb meat. The AHSG Alpha2-Heremans- Schmid Glycoprotein gene is associated with a fatty acid content and is indicated as a gene controlling flavor and odor compounds. The research aims to identify the AHSG gene polymorphism and its association with flavor and odor compounds in Indonesian lamb meat. The sample used in this study was 105 ram samples consisting of 10 Javanese Fat-Tailed Sheep (JFTS), 80 Javanese Thin-Tailed Sheep (JTTS), and 15 Jonggol sheep (JS). The AHSG gene polymorphism was validated using the PCR-RFLP technique with the EagI enzyme EagI. The association of the AHSG gene SNP (g.198655287 G>A) with odor and flavor was analyzed using the T-tests. The AHSG gene polymorphism in Indonesian lamb was polymorphic with three genotypes, i.e., GG, GA, and AA, and in the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. The AHSG significance was associated (PA, can potentially serve as a genetic marker for lamb meat production by reducing flavor and odor
Potential of Goletrak Grass (Borreria alata) as Suplementation on Hay Multinutrient Waffle and Its Nutrition Value to Improve Growth Performance in Rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus)
Full text linkThe aim of this study was to determine the effects of goletrak grass (Borreria alata) as suplementation in hay multinutrient waffle on the growth performance in rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus). The experiment was carried out in 2 stages consisting of hay multinutrient waffle (HMW) production and feeding application in rabbit. The HMW was produced in three formulations: H1 was used 5% Boreria alata; H2 10% Boreria alata; and H315% Boreria alata. Physical and chemical assessment of HMW were performed to evaluate the feed quality prior to feeding application. A total of 18 local rabbit males (Oryctolagus cuniculus) were assigned to 6 dietary treatments, 3 animals each, consisted: T01 = 100% benggala grass; T02 = 60% commercial pellet + 40% benggala grass; T1 = 60% commercial pellet + 40 % HMW; T2 = 40% commercial pellet + 60 % HMW; T3 = 20% commercial pellet + 80 % HMW; and T4 = 100 % HMW. The addition of goletrak grass (Boreria alata) had no significant effect (p>0.05) on physical propertiesincluding colours, texture, aroma, hardness, and durability index. However, significant effects (p0.05) on feed consumption. In conclusion, 15% inclusion of Boreria alata into HMW formulation, with 40% HMW in the diet, resulted in improved FCR, along with increased total weight gain and ADG. These findings suggest a beneficial impact of Boreria alata inclusion of performance and feed efficiency in rabbit
Identification of Myostatin Gene Polymorphism (MSTN|Taq1) Exon-2 in Pitalah Duck Using The PCR-RFLP Method
No full textThis study aimed to identify the polymorphism of the exon-2 myostatin gene (MSTN) in Pitalah ducks using the PCR-RFLP (Polymerase Chain Reaction-Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism) method. 28 blood samples of Pitalah ducks were used in this study. Blood samples were extracted using Intron Biotechnology's Intron G-SpinTM Total DNA Extraction Kit protocol. The DNA extraction results were then amplified using a pair of primers, namely the Forward: 5' TCCACTTGTTACTGATGCTGT-3' primer and the Reverse: 5'- TAGGGAAATGGAGGCACAGG-3' primer, with a fragment target of 700 bp. Furthermore, the amplified product is restricted using the Taq1 enzyme, which recognizes the cutting site on T|CGA. Based on the results of the study, two genotypes were found, namely 89.29% truncated homozygous (+/+) and heterozygous (+/-), as well as 10.71% of the total sample used, while untruncated homozygous genotypes (-/-) were not found in this study. Meanwhile, the allele frequency (+) was 0.946, the allele frequency (-) was 0.054, and the observed heterozygosity value was greater than the expected heterozygosity value (Ho>He). This study concludes that the myostatin exon-2 gene in Pitalah ducks is polymorphic and is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium
The Influence of Parity on Blood Metabolite Profiles and Reproductive Performance in Saanen-Etawah Crossbred Does
No full textThis study aimed to observe the effect of parity on the blood metabolite profiles and reproductive performance of Saanen-Etawah Crossbred does, maintained in smallholder farm. A total of 40 non-pregnant lactating does were divided into two groups: primiparous (n=16) and multiparous (n=24). The blood metabolite profiles, including total protein, glucose, cholesterol, and blood urea nitrogen (BUN), were assessed. Blood samples were collected from the jugular vein during the follicular phase, two hours prior morning feeding. Analysis of blood metabolites was carried out using photometric atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS)-flame procedure. Furthermore, reproductive performance was observed through observing the characteristics of estrus and the length of the estrus cycle. The results indicated total protein in blood were significantly higher (p<0.05) in multiparous does (7.04±0.87 g/dL) compared to primiparous does (5.47±1.40 g/dL). In contrast, primiparous does exhibited significantly higher (p<0.05) blood cholesterol levels (122.33±30.55 mg/dL) than multiparous does (107.14±13.45 mg/dL). Multiparous does displayed typical estrus characteristics, including vulvar reddening, swelling, and vaginal mucus production, alongside a significantly shorter estrus cycle length. Parity was positively correlated with total protein levels (r=0.577), vulvar reddening (r=0.355), vulvar swelling (r=0.343), and vaginal mucus production (r=0.450), while negatively correlated with cholesterol levels (r=-0.330) and estrus cycle length (r=-0.532). These findings indicate that parity influences total protein and cholesterol levels, as well as several key estrus characteristics. Further investigation into optimized feed regimens and reproductive hormone fluctuations is warranted to enhance the reproductive efficiency of Saanen-Etawah Crossbred does

This calls greater attention from the government and animal product business units to improve the quality of meat supply. Implementing hygiene and sanitation practices along meat distribution channels is one strategy to enhance the quality of meat. The Indonesian government requires meat products to have certification in the form of a Veterinary Control Number (NKV). This study aims to study the effect of NKV certification marks, superior value of fresh beef, and perceived price suitability on the intention to repurchase NKV-certified beef. This study was conducted using a mixed method, using in-depht interview and survey design. The questionnaires were distributed through online and offline methods to a sample of 200 respondents, who were selected using judgemental sampling method based on the following criteria: (1) they were residents of the city of Pekanbaru; (2) they were at least 21 years old; (3) they had engaged in buying beef. The questionnaire consisted of 22 questions regarding NKV labelling, superior value of fresh beef, perceived price suitability, and intention to repurchase NKV-certified beef. Data were analysed with linear multiple regression analysis using SPSS 26 software package. The results of the t test showed that only the superior value of fresh beef had no significant influence (β = 0.075) on the intention to repurchase certified beef in Pekanbaru, while the NKV certification mark (β = 0.160) and perceived price suitability (β = 0.447) had a significant influence on the intention to repurchase certified beef. This study shows that the research model explains 28.4% of the variability in the intention to repurchase beef. This research concluded that the NKV certification mark and perceived price suitability are important factors that influence the intention to repurchase beef in Pekanbaru City
Characterisation of Nano-Calcium Citrate from Waste Broiler Chicken Bones Synthesized Using Lime as a Novel Food Supplement
No full textBroiler chicken bone calcium oxide is 5.6 g mixed with 20 mL of distilled water. A mixture of 50 mL of lime juice and 30 mL of distilled water was added and then stirred using a hotplate magnetic stirrer at a temperature of 75°C for 30 min at a speed of 500 rpm/min. Ethanol 50% was added to as much as 20 mL (v/v), dried in the sun for 5 d, and then ground using a blender. Parameters observed were particle-size analysis (PSA), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive x-ray (EDX), fourier transform infrared (FTIR), and color. Data from PSA, SEM, EDX, FTIR, and color test results were analyzed descriptively. The research results show that green synthesis with lime can change the particle size of broiler chicken bone calcium into nanoparticles. Lime can be used to synthesize broiler chicken bone calcium into nano-calcium citrate with a particle size of around 524.1 nm. Colorimetric evaluation showed excellent brightness (L* 72.60), minimal redness (a* 3.20), moderate yellowness (b* 15.60), and acceptable whiteness (68.31), demonstrating lime's dual function as both a synthesizing agent and natural purifier. These findings indicate that the lime-mediated synthesis produces high-quality nano-calcium citrate from poultry byproducts, making it a promising candidate for novel food supplement applications
